I've tried a lot of things and i can't figure out what i do wrong, or what is working and not working, is it time to just take the system to a computer shop?
Basically the last time my rma'd motherboard came back, i was able to get it to post with the VIDEO CARD ON BOARD AND FANS SPIN, But, as soon as i take the PCI power from the power supply and plug it into the card. The computer will not post at all. Just nothing, everything else will work just fine. I am 99.9% sure i tried this last time with the power supply i bought at compusa, and it did the same thing as my old PSU. But, i cannot remember. I guess i could try it again by returning this PSU and buying another (coolermaster 35$ jobber that's like 500watt) My fatal!ty psu seems to work fine, but is it really ? I have lost 2 boards now with this case move, waiting for asus to send me another one. At this point, i have to figure out what is going on.It's either the video card (which on the corner of the board. Near the actual power connector spot, the corner of the board is dented where my kid pulled it off the table and it nose dived and dented the boards corner. I assumed this is why when i plug the power into the card from the PSU that it won't boot. But, i dunno? Maybe i am wrong. I emailed sapphire. Of course i didn't mention the ding, i wanna rma this. Nonetheless what can i do? I don't have another system to test the card in. Should i just take this thing down to best buy or something at least i know is a little reputable? I just want to get my system back working again. So frustrated, and now must wait 2 weeks for the motherboard, but i want to have a plan ready to put into action when it comes back.Anyone have any experience on systems that fail to POST when the video card is plugged in? it's a PCI express card. sapphire radeon hd770 Uses the PCI express 6 pin connector.
I don't want to confuse anyone but before i fried the board by overloading it with fans... The system....
POSTED with the video card in the slot, and no power to it.
would not post with the video card in the slot and power from psu connected to it
